 Being prepared is not just a motto and Florida natural hazards don't stop with the alligator and hurricane. Many of us take the weather in Florida for granted...except for hurricanes. We become complacent to the extreme heat, thunderstorms, lightning and heavy downpours that occur frequently during the summer. then of course there are those mild winters which--we forget--can get down into the 20s. Nor should we forget that much of Florida--including Pinellas County--is flat and therefore vulnerable to flooding.
Through knowledge and preparation we can protect ourselves and our property. The links below will take you to information about what the natural hazards are and how to prepare for them.
